Cats have been both worshipped and persecuted over this long period - either loved or hated for their enigmatic self-reliance and the subject of numerous myths and fables. Highlighting startling discoveries made over the last ten years, this new edition features contributions from experts in a wide range of fields, providing authoritative accounts of the behaviour of cats and how they interact with people. Thoroughly revised and updated to include information on the basic features of cat development and social life, the history of their relations with humans, health and welfare problems, and the breeding of cats for sale and for show. It is intended for all those, whether specialist or general reader, who love or are simply intrigued by these fascinating animals.1 aTurner, Dennis C.,eeditor of compilation.1 aBateson, Patrick,eeditor of compilation.08iPrint version: z978110702502840uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139177177zCambridge Books Online  c229895d229895
